Description:

We recently acquired a 1987 Volkswagon Vanagon Tranporter - camper with pop-up. It is in good shape as far as we can tell, although refurbishment is something we are thinking about. We are located in Camp Hill, PA. We found your site very interesting and we are wondering what the cost would be to ship this vehicle to you from here. Are there shippers you'd recommend? Here is a wish list: it would be nice if it was repainted, at least the top needs to be painted for sure. I tried to clean the interior, but there are still stains on the seats--would be nice if looked new :0) Needs new bumpers, seals around poptop, and seals around windows and doors? New popup hatch/window in roof, new poptop tent -- unless this was fixable? Torn screen -- could be some other issues, entertainment pkg? (does this include a good stereo and speakers)? Then we'd probably need a second battery (maybe then solar?), not sure if the refrig, stove or heat works, but it probably does (afraid of the propane tank). Believe it needs better brakes and headlights, too. We haven't been able to get the seats to swivel? Apparently we are missing the two tables (behind the front seat and another further back), still having trouble with the AC -- tried to have this fixed, and the garage says it's probably the compressor. Possibly a trailer hitch (for a bike rack). As far as mechanical items -- it's hard for us to know -- we'd just like it reliable for weekend trips and camping. Has anyone ever requested a dog seat (between the 2 front seats)? We have a standard poodle that likes to ride shotgun and we haven't found anything yet that works. :0)
Thanks!

NO PROBLEM!

She sent her beloved Westy here all the way from Pennsylvania. We were quite skeptical it would be a worthy candidate for restoration. I mean, everyone in the northeast says "no rust, never driven in winter, heated garage," yada, yada, yada. Well, it turns out Kiz was not kidding. Her Westy was indeed a very worthy candidate!

The first photo below is almost a perfect before/after shot! Right when we completed Kiz's Vanagon, another one came in that was almost identical (pre-GoWesty treatment, of course). It was too good not to resist snapping a few shots!
